Summary

MOTORSPORT: Lewis Hamilton was back on top of the podium after claiming his first victory since October's Chinese Grand Prix. The world champion took the chequered flag in a Hungarian Grand Prix overshadowed by Felipe Massa's accident in qualifying on Saturday that left the Brazilian in hospital with a fractured skull. Yesterday's victory was Hamilton's 10th for McLaren from 45 starts, with the 24-year-old finally back in business after a first half of a season to forget.

Behind the Briton, Kimi Raikkonen gave Ferrari something to cheer about it as he finished second, although he could yet be stripped of that position following a first corner collision with Sebastian Vettel that is to be investigated by the stewards. Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber finished third, closing the gap at the top of the championship standings to 18.5 points on Jenson Button, who could only manage a season-low seventh in his Brawn GP.
